To the Monastery I Will Go…

… again. I had the complete joy of going to Monastery of the Holy Spirit in July to attend a writing retreat. Today I am preparing to make a return trip for a Christian Mysticism retreat. What I am most excited about is the silence, followed by the love that exudes from the monastery walls and the monks themselves, the natural beauty, and the fact that I show up for meals that I do not have to cook.

I could make a rather lengthy list of the things that feed my soul, but I will offer a list in pictures.
